The anti-viral treatment will be used by all the divisions of Marzotto Group: Marzotto Fabrics, Guabello, Fratelli Tallia di Delfino, Marlane, Estethia/G.B.Conte, Opera Piemontese, Redaelli, Tessuti di Sondrio, Lanerossi, Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale, Nuova Tessil Brenta.

"We tested ViralOff on different fabrics with different compositions and we are very happy with the result. We thank the Polygene team for their support,” said Giorgio Todesco, CEO of Marzotto wool manufacturing. “We now run trials to ensure treatment resistance even after multiple water and dry washes.”

“Consumers have changed behaviors and the demand for garments protected from viruses is huge. Some countries now require retailers to sanitise clothes when they have been tried on. We also know consumers are wary when shopping. ViralOff protects the garment, as well as reduces the need to wash and thereby prolongs the lifetime of the garment. Marzotto’s new offer will redefine standards in fashion,” said Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene.
